    Warning message in bowtie mapping.

    Hello all,

    I am trying to map solid 4 reads onto 5 genomes with bowtie. After inputting the contig fasta files i get the following output:
    Reading reference sizes
    Warning: Encountered empty reference sequence (x20)
    Time reading reference sizes: 00:00:01

    The script continues and gives a similar warning message later:

    Total time for call to driver() for forward index: 00:00:10
    Reading reference sizes
    Warning: Encountered empty reference sequence (x20)

    We have used the same script on other organisms without these errors. The only thing I can think of is my organisms were assembled in an automated pipeline and thus have some really small contigs. The script finishes successfully and the outputs seem to be usable. Could anyone shed some light onto what could be happening?

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
